Did you have an MRI or any advanced diagnostic imaging?

I dont remember any videos of teachers teaching children to worship Bush. If you have one we would love to see it.

Well, the teacher is working on it.

Ok. I am going to bite on this one. I am certified through the Spine Research Institute of San Diego for Whiplash and brain injury traumatology, this includes collision reconstruction. I am able to testify and an expert witness in legal proceedings as to crash mechanics and injury bio-mechanics. That test they did was a 40% offset crash . The reason they do the crash test is most frontal collisions happen like that. Frontal collision generally do not hit 100% head on. In a direct head on the outcomes would have still favored the Malibu. While mass of vehicles is an important factor in crash worthiness, size is not the whole story. Vehicular restitution, ride down, chassis stiffness in an accident is very important as it relate to the delta v of the occupants. The 59 Belair has a standard frame that is terrible in an accident. As you can see in the film, the Belair deforms dramatically upon impact. The passenger compartment is compromised severely. The a-pillar crushed like an egg. The A-pillar rigidity is crucial for occupant safety since its collapse will allow for the deformation of the dash area. Look at crash video of a 2002 Kia Sedona and you will see another prime example of poor occupant cage design. Also look at the rebound of the two cars. the Malibu stayed semi flat as it rebounds away from the accident the Belair's rear end goes drastically airborne. Ride down from the accident is very important in the injuries sustained to the occupants. The longer the ride down the less force sustained to the occupants. The ride down in a 59 Bel air is very poor. Even though the larger Belair has the energy advantage, the occupant in the Malibu will have a decent chance at survival of a side impact crash due to the side impact airbags and other safety features. In addition not all side impact crashes are the same. You have near side and far side impacts. The out comes and injuries of the two types are drastically different.

I called the school it happened at this morning. I got the standard we cannot comment response. B. Bernice Young Elementary School 1203 Neck Road Burlington, NJ 08016 Phone: (609) 386-3520 Fax: (609) 239-3532

This is getting disturbing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aqMTD5UFmU

Are you looking to buy one of the professional units? Those get pricey!

Workcomp will do a rent to buy sort of deal. Some times they are picky about those tens units. At one time they had a problem with a few docs giving everyone that walked in the door one. The mark up is my cost is about $30 for the junk ones up to $100 for the good ones. Then I resell them for about $400. Are the websites letting your order them with out being a licensed health care person? FDA says the have to be dispensed through docs and PT's

Darn, I cant make it by December. I was looking at going again next summer. It is getting expensive with three kids.

Thanks guys

That is good!!!

I can get you one and have you insurance pay for it. Better yet why not fix the problem that is causing the pain?

Anyone have access to the data base? I have someone I need to find. Pm me please

what are the time limits?

thank you

I fail then.... Thank you

IIHS for some reason does not say anything about different seats in the models. I would be willing to bet the frame design was the same, but the trim on the outside of the seat was different.

In part of my business I do motor vehicle collision reconstruction. I am working on a case that involves a 1994 Ford Probe. The 1994 Ford Probe had a fixed head restraint that could not be adjusted. This design is very poor because variability of driver height. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety began evaluating the design of seats in 1995. The testing used a dummy to look at the risk factors for whiplash injuries due to design. The 1995 Ford Probe received a poor rating for this design. So my question is, did the 1994 and 1995 use the same seats? Thanks

Tim, we generally agree on a lot of things. In this case we will have to say we dont see eye to eye.

Life is priceless, but giving up freedoms is expensive too. Over time being comfortable with loss of liberty will net the loss of many lives. If that many drunk are on the roads, a little "real" police work will with a few cops on the beat should be able to net that. How about just looking for those people that exhibit signs of impairment?

Our police system is reactionary. That is another reason you need to protect yourself and not think the po po is going to protect you. DUI check points are for lazy cops to get out of doing actual police work. Go patrol and look for people that are breaking the law and then make the appropriate stops and arrest if necessary. Criminals do things that make them stick out to the cops, if the cops would put down the doughnut and look out of the cruiser window they might notice it.

That is the whole point. You give up a little bit of rights they will eventually take a lot of them from you.

I have a 02 z71 suburban with the 5.3. No real problems other than the rear diff leaks. I have been to cheap to but a new cover to replace the stamped steel unit. The Front hubs may need to be replaced on that if they have not been done yet. Other than that our 1500 has been a great truck. PS. Look and make sure all the dash lights work, GM used the LEDs and they are a pain to repair.

Spend the $200 on them moving the piano or spend more than that at my office fixing your spine. Those pianos are HEAVY!!! $200 sounds like a crack head price to me.

Your tax dollars at work.:thumbdown
